Trivia
- Earthquake has the same power, accuracy and PP as Arceus's signature attack, Judgment.
- Pokémon Stadium 2 makes available a special Gligar that knows Earthquake, a move it cannot have legally otherwise in Generation II.
- In Generations III and IV all of the final evolved starters could learn Earthquake by TM26.
- Tyranitar is the only Pokémon who learns Earthquake by leveling up, to not gain STAB when used.
- This move caused, for the first time ever, an episode being banned in Japan first, due to the 2004 Chuetsu earthquakes having struck the country a couple weeks before the episode in question was intended to air.
